1 dead, 2 injured in bear attack at Cooke City campground

Wade notified the Chief of this ungodly event. After reading about Wade's latest Western adventure, the Fair Maiden and I began working on a short trip to Paradise Valley and Northeast YNP to get away from this damn PA heat. Planned on camping three nights at Pebble Creek. Now the Chief is OK with a daily dousing of corn starch right here in PA.

The America Cup

The America Cup International Fly Fishing Tournament will be held in Colorado this September. Two esteemed RBF Pro Staffers will be competing in this event. GregG and Midger are members of Team Freestone from Pennsylvania. The tournament, based on FIPS Mouche rules, will feature teams from Poland, Ireland, Australia, Japan, Wyoming, North Carolina and Arkansas. GregG and Midger can catch trout in a sewer, so I know that they will do well in the Arkansas River, Blue River, Ten Mile Creek and the Upper Colorado River.

GregG (Summiteer Emeritus) is famous for his Polish Nymphing Techniques.

Midger (Second in Charge) is famous for his ability to catch Orange Trout.

Besides being great anglers, our Pro Staffers are of high moral character. They will compete with dignity bringing honor to our sport. They will be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. Let’s wish them well! Good Luck Pro Staffers and Carry on!
